The new architecture will help address several major challenges, including data staleness, reliability, total cost of ownership, data lock-in, and limited use-case support.A critical part of realizing this vision is the next generation (decoupled) query engine and structured storage system that can outperform specialized data warehouses in relational query performance, yet retain the expressiveness of general purpose systems such as Apache Spark to support diverse workloads ranging from ETL to data science.As part of this team, you will be working in one or more of the following areas to design and implement these next-gen systems that leapfrog state-of-the-art:
